Our Purpose of Life

Ecclesiastes 3:11 NIV
He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.

In the book "Purpose Driven Life" by Rick Warren - Rick discusses that the Purpose for every being in this world is to seek God and to find a meaningful experience with him till eternity.

Matthew 11:25 NIV
At that time Jesus said, "I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children.

We as humans do seek the approval of men than God. Many a times we never know that we seek for the wrong things in life.

John 12:43

New American Standard Bible (NASB)
43 for they loved the approval of men rather than the approval of God.

I always wondered if I did something great, "I shall be praised". At Least recognised. When something I do for others, When I do everything for others. What God did for us is so great, That even our praises won't be enough to just thank him.

Praises differ from Approval:
Many of us seek for approval:

Many scientists, philosophers and even many others tried to find the purpose of life - They failed. Not because they were ignorant, but they tried searching in the wrong place. The right place to start search the purpose of life is God's Word -

Psalm 84:10 NIV
Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere; I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked.
